What is funny (in a way) is that five years on, there is still not a basic understanding and agreement on core data about covid(R, IHR, IFR, etc.)
In fact, it is remarkably how little in particular IHR and IFR feature in inquiries yet they are central to any post-mortem analysis

. @DanaherCorp makes 8 billion dollars in annual profits. Much of that profit comes from price-gouging the world's poorest countries for life-saving tuberculosis tests. Danaher has done this in the dark for 13 long years.
Today, we shine the light. #PeopleOverProfits

Chaining imputation, nowcasting, and effective Rt estimation in a pipeline may equal danger. Safer to have a single joint model.

Growing tobacco is catastrophic. It results in millions going hungry.
Tobacco is a labour-intensive crop. It is also not a highly-profitable crop for farmers or governments.

We're proud to have contributed to a study conducted by @WHO on female healthcare workers and COVID-19 in Kazakhstan.👏
The study explores the impact of COVID-19 on female healthcare workers in Kazakhstan and highlights the need for gender-responsive policies in healthcare. 🩺
ALT Assessing gender related challenges for frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak in Kazakhstan
ALT Female healthcare workers in Kazakhstan reported carrying greater responsibility for household care than men, both during and prior to the pandemic.
ALT Female healthcare workers were significantly less likely to isolate whilst on the frontline, with responsibility for household care a significant factor. Those that did isolate were more likely to use a facility provided by the government.
ALT Reports of psychological and physical workplace violence increased significantly during the pandemic, most acutely against female healthcare workers.
